Etymology
Invalidly is made from the prefix in- meaning 'not' and the word valid, which comes from the Latin valere meaning 'to be strong' or 'acceptable'. So, to do something invalidly in this sense is to do it 'not according to the rules' or 'not legally or officially valid', which is why it can be rejected.
